Payment Service Business
Our payment service business, which started with selling prepaid mobile phones, has expanded steadily in the ever-evolving payment service industry. In addition to selling prepaid cards and prepaid codes (PINs), we also started our Gift Card Mall business mainly at convenience stores across the nation.
Today, Gift Card Mall can be found throughout Japan. We leverage our expertise developed through the sale of mobile phones and PINs and offer meticulous and attentive services to our retail partners in areas such as in-store display arrangement, card delivery, promotions, and call center operations.
Major convenience stores across the country not only serve as familiar nearby stores for customers, but also as essential sales channels for our payment service business. We aim to strengthen our cooperation with each convenience store and promote the enhancement of our services to improve convenience for our customers.
As digitalization progresses, we will actively develop and provide products demanded by the era, such as launching a Digital Gift Service with our sales promotion platform "At Gift," thereby creating new value in the payment service industry.

Amid growing calls for stronger initiatives to promote health and prevent illness, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc., MOFF Corporation, and our company are collaborating to propose future health promotion measures that actively utilize digital technology to local governments.With an eye on the ‘super-aged society’ where one in three people will be elderly, we will achieve the cycle of ‘understanding the situation → analysing issues → creating healthy habits’, which is essential for health promotion measures, by improving operational efficiency through the use of DX and supporting business evaluation through data analysis. We will also develop comprehensive healthcare businesses, such as the ‘MOGI’ app for experiencing cognitive function tests when renewing driving licences for the elderly, and services to support health management.
